(7 U.S.C. 6s(a)) to register with the Commission. The CFTC uses various 
forms for registration (and withdrawal therefrom) (the ``Registration 
Forms''). OMB Control No. 3038-0072 applies to the Registration Forms 
for registration of swap dealers and major swap participants,\2\ to the 
alternative method provided under Commission regulations to submission 
of a fingerprint card for foreign natural persons; and to the process 
for requesting cross-border comparability determinations for 
substituted compliance with requirements otherwise applicable to swap 
dealers and major swap participants.

commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors, retail foreign 
exchange dealers, introducing brokers, associated persons, floor

collection (OMB Control Number 3038-0023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to the collection of information, the Commission 
invites comments on:
     Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Commission, including whether the information will have a practical 
use;
     The accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
     Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden of collection of information 
on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
    You should submit only information that you wish to make available 
publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider information that you 
believe is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, 
a petition for confidential treatment of the exempt information may be 
submitted according to the procedures established in Sec.  145.9 of the
